    Tables are chopped up into pieces to get around the PalmOS limitation
of 64K for images and off screen windows. Tables are rendered at the depth
proveded by the parser (--bpp=X). Images are also saved at this bit depth.

    I thought they were rendered on-the-fly. Tables are rendered and drawn the first
time they appear on the screen. (They are partially rendered by GetLineMetrics()
to determine their size.)
